the tiresome braying and moaning about the Jag redesign will intensify with this news.
I'm maybe in the minority, but I really liked the bold design. It's top management with their lousy strategy that have caused this mess, not that fantastic designer

Multiple outlets are reporting on Donald Trump’s apparent effort to change US regulations to bring kei cars to the US, but there’s little reason to think that effort will be serious.

Germany’s car industry in China is kept alive by a fast-shrinking group of posh ICE and cheap ICE car fans. this won’t last long

this… and sadly it’s increasingly true of the UK too
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I Saw Tesla's Three-Row Model Y L In China. It Proves Tesla's In Its Malaise Era
It has six seats. What else does it do? Not much, I learned. The China-focused three-row Tesla Model Y L isn't a great competitor.

yet more head-scratchingly bad branding from a Chinese automaker - the MG IM5 has no MG badges on it
i know why (because it's actually an SAIC IM car in China), but it's just a nonsensical and unnecessary confusion for folks overseas. just put bloody MG badges on it!

the nazi app is also the sock puppet app
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

go block AI snooping on your gmail (btw need to tweak settings on desktop website, not mobile)
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
